No, there's no denying that 4chan and GamerGate were a breeding ground for the alt-right. There's a reason Milo went from mocking them to patronizing them to leaving them in the dust - they made for a great launching off point. Those areas are full of angry young men who are socially awkward and looking for someone to validate both them and their anger.
But as you mentioned correlation isn't causation. That those places are full of gamers doesn't mean games are the cause. Games are a symptom. Angry young socially awkward men love games, games don't make them that way. Tons, if not most, people love games.
